It will be good to add duct size(width&Height or diameter) in "Duct pressure drop report" of HVAC.
I've been using HVAC program to confirm weather other designers designed well or not, give an options to change his or her design and report these. So, it is essential to show which part's shall be changed in report. Fortunately, "duct length" can be included by checking option box.

I would like to be able to select a circuit number and highlight a device and draw a homerun, i.e. dedicated circuits, equipment, etc.
This would avoid the more cumbersome 2 step process
1. circuit device
2. draw homerunDepending on the job there are can be lots of dedicated circuits and/or pieces of equipment...

Customization of circuiting callouts
In circuiting callouts, allow the dash to be replaced by a custom string.
Example: Default circuiting callout is L1A-1,3,5. Allow us to make it say L1A: 1,3,5 or L1A CKT 1,3,5.

Room Names in Circuit Description
Provide an option for Room Names analogous to the "Conduit location" Option. Also consider other customization:
-Custom Room prefix - e.g. RM
-Option to include/exclude Name - e.g., RM 120
-Option to include/exclude Number - e.g., RM FIRE RISERRoom Names Location:
->Start of Circuit Description
->End of Circuit DescriptionCurrently the room names always go at the end, just like OOTB Revit. Having the option to put the room at the start would allow for better scheduling for when the intent is for circuits to be organized by room, like so:

Spaces in Feeder Callouts
Be able to display feeder callouts with spaces after commas, instead of having all the wire sizes right next to each other.
Current Callout:
2''C,2#3/0,#3/0N,#6GDesired Callout:
2''C, 2#3/0, #3/0N, #6G4 votes -

Automatically add Diffuser Arrows for 1W, 2W, 3W & 4W
In the diffuser definition dialog box, designate whether it is a 1W, 2W, 3W or 4W diffuser, then attach that number of arrows. When placing the diffuser, allow the user to rotate the diffuser to align the appropriate air flow direction.

Separate column in the feeder schedule for the service grounding electrode conductor.
The service ground does not get installed in the conduit with the service entrance conductors, so why is it shown just like all the other feeders where the equipment grounding conductor is installed with the feeder conductors. If you want the feature to show the GEC size, show it in a different column and show the feeder with no ground listed with the feeder conductors so its clear it is not in the conduit.

Include "1" before single ground and neutral wires
Add an option to include a "1" in the wire callout before single ground and neutral wires. Currently the wire size is listed with no count before it.
Current wire callout:
1/2"C, 1#12, #12N, #12GNew wire callout:
1/2"C, 1#12, 1#12N, 1#12G4 votes -
Add a hatch pattern to room definitions
When defining rooms, it is often difficult to determine which rooms have been defined and which have not, if an area gets surrounded. Adding a hatch pattern on its own layer would make it much easier to determine if you've included all room definition areas.

Reset panel "Fixed Loads".
Often, I need to "start over" on a panel that I've assigned fixed loads. It would be handy to have a button that would clear every fixed load on the panel. Or even be able to select several circuits and clear those circuit's fixed loads.

Default label locations in blocks
Be able to specify locations for labels in blocks. When the labels are added to the block, they will be placed in the desired locations, rather than in the somewhat random default location they are currently placed in.

Specify fault at upstream device
Be able to specify the fault at the upstream device, rather than at the current device. This feature would be useful when you want to specify the fault at the utility transformer but it is not included in the Revit model.

Light Fixture Settings - Different Blocks
The ability to define an egress fixture as the same fixture/block as the normal fixtures, with an option to turn a hatch on/off to differentiate. Similar to in Revit, where you can set an instance parameter and check it to turn fixtures into the egress blocks. The fixture type stays the same, only the visible block changes.

Voltage Drop in Equipment Schedule
Add "Voltage Drop" as a column to the equipment schedule. Would list the branch circuit voltage drop to a each piece of equipment in the schedule.
